Nike SB Dunk 'J-Pack' / Jordan Pack (2005, 2011,2012, 2014, 2019)

Two-toned SBs make up the bulk of the early releases of Nike SB, and not surprisingly, these are among the most coveted as ‘daily beater’ SBs. The 2005 J-Pack is among the best of that category. Despite this pink-box release, not having any collabs with artists or skate shops, it continues to be a standout among the powerful 2005 line-up of SB releases. Dubbed the ‘J-Pack’, or ‘Jordan Pack’, it resembles the OG Black/Royal Air Jordan 1, and of course, the ‘Cookie Monster’ for obvious reasons.

It seems that it has become the accepted moniker as future SB Dunk releases color-blocked in a similar manner would commonly be connected with the 2005 release as ‘Neon J-Pack’, ‘Tiffany J-Pack’, 'Royal J-Pack', J-Pack Breds.

This goes to show that not every hot release is a limited affair or an artist collab, so enjoy this Classics Revisited and let us know if you’ve got the J-Packs stashed in your closet.

By the way, there will be another J-pack release next year (Rumor: July 2019), and it will be the J-Pack Green. For sure, it's going to be a quintessential SB Dunk too: a mix of high-quality Nike SV craftsmanship, and a touch of GREEN. Not the most subtle Dunk, but overall surprisingly manageable for a skate shoe with a Green Swoosh. Check out my rendered photo of the upcoming Green J-Pack below (LOL), and stay tuned for the official release info and images over the next couple of weeks or so.
